Cavalieri del Tau

Sadly, there wasn't much to like about this place.

This appeared to be one of the only places to stay in Altopascio, which is why I booked it. We were walking the Via Francigena, and this was right on the route. From the moment we saw it on the street, my first thought was "dumpy motel." Inside, my first impression was confirmed. The rooms appear to be slightly upgraded--the bathrooms are newer (though there was still mold in our shower) and the floors look newer. But man--the beds. The queen bed sagged in the middle big time, and the twin beds had frames that could be felt right through the mattress. Unfortunately, of the four of us, the only one who was able to sleep well at this place was me because I drugged myself with Zzquil. My three friends barely got any sleep at all because the beds were so uncomfortable. If you have to spend a night in Altopascio, I would suggest looking for a house to rent on another site. One of my friends did that while we were there and said that there were plenty of places that looked a million times nicer for far less money.

The location of the hotel was ideal for my trip and the parking on site was very useful

The room was a little old and the decor was quite poor. Also the roojm was quite noisy at night due to the thin walls and people in the next rooms having the tv on at high volume
